Penelope Luciano, a virginal wallflower who lives the life of a hermit, has always been overlooked. But everything changes when she trades her quiet night with a book for a rare night out with her friends.

The Hunk

Jack Goodman, a confident skirt chaser, has always been a womanizer. But everything changes when he meets clumsy Penelope, and their first kiss turns into a night of passion.

When Penelope sneaks out the morning after, neither one expects to see each other again until they are thrown together in unexpected circumstances.

When pride and self-doubt get in the way, it's up to both the blogger and the hunk to attain their equal footing and find the strength to chase what they really want.

Penelope groaned. They’d
slept together again. Why did she insist on torturing herself? Although she was
a teeny bit disappointed she couldn’t remember any of it.

Jack laughed at her and
reached out to take her hand. “I’m just teasing. Nothing happened between us.
You just snored. A lot. If getting a hangover doesn’t stop you from getting
drunk again, then just keep in mind if you plan to go home with a guy, don’t
drink yourself into a stupor beforehand. I thought a bear had sneaked into my
apartment.” He laughed, chucking her chin and turning to the whistling kettle
on the stove.

Penelope couldn’t stop
the heat from taking over. She could just imagine the tomato color her face was
sporting. “Does that mean you didn’t take me out of my clothes?” she managed to
ask.

“I was surprised you were
actually balanced enough to slide that little number off, especially with those
fuck-me heels.” His eyes twinkled from above his mug of coffee.

Penelope wasn’t having
any of it. “Ugh, stop. Just stop it. Be serious for once, please. No more of
these double meanings and sexual innuendos. They’re getting a little annoying
and the only thing I want to do right now is find my dress and get home.”

Jack just looked back at
her, a serious expression on his face. “All right, truce. I’ll shut up for now.
Deal?”
